Belarusian Football Player Joins One of Greece's Powerhouse Teams
PAOK, one of the most respected clubs in Greek football, has strengthened its defence with the signing of 18-year-old Belarusian defender Pavel Apetenok. The young talent has put pen to paper on a four-year contract with the club from Thessaloniki.
Apetenok, who was first called up to the Belarus national team in May of this year, joins PAOK after transitioning from Dynamo Minsk. His previous employer before signing with PAOK was Bregalnica Delchevo.
The defender will be joining a club with a rich history, having won the Greek Cup eight times and the Greek championship four times, with the last win in 2024. Last season, PAOK finished fourth in the national league, securing a place in the main round of the Europa League this season.
Apetenok's contract details were reported by the official website of PAOK, confirming his commitment to the club until 2026. The young defender will be eager to make an impact in his new surroundings, having already shown promise in his previous stints at Dynamo Minsk and Bregalnica Delchevo.
As PAOK prepares for the upcoming Europa League campaign, the addition of Apetenok to their defence is a significant boost. The club will be looking to build on their fourth-place finish in the national league last season and challenge for honours in both domestic and European competitions.
With the young defender's international experience with the Belarus national team, he is expected to bring a level of maturity and experience to the PAOK defence, which will be crucial in their quest for success this season.
As the new season approaches, fans of PAOK will be eagerly awaiting the debut of their latest signing, Pavel Apetenok, and the impact he will have on the team. With his youthful enthusiasm and promise, the defender could prove to be a key player in the club's future success.
